I've been working on rehabbing my MIL's orchid. It was bone dry for unknown amounts of time and a 2nd set of leaves was growing at the top when I started. There is a little nub growing out of the small leaves, maybe an air root or spike, not sure. It's probably a NoID Phal, but I haven't ever seen it blooming. It's become my project. One of the leaves turned yellow and snapped off of the bottom, and it only has two air roots left alive but I've been giving it some love including orchid food (the misting kind, not the spike or the one you mix with water). I'm wondering though if the baby leaves are actually a new orchid plant forming and if so...do I remove and start a new orchid? Or leave it....? I don't know. Pardon the picture quality, I don't know where my nice camera is and I'm using my iPhone. Nub is kinda hard to see, I can try to get another picture if needed. It's in the front under the baby leaves.
